Whitney/Haskell/Test...

Is it just me or are these 3 races extremely tough to cap with not too many toss outs? Tomorrow I may just pass all of them and make a win bet on Fort Prado hoping he can gut it out at around 7-5 odds.

Yep...the test is impossible, and the chalk will end up winning there. I think Bluegrass is the nuts in the Haskell because SC should bounce off his huge effort last time. The Whitney, Survialist can hit the board at a REAL nice price and would be a worthwhile exacta box with Flower Alley.

I agree with Survivalist in the Whitney... but he scares since he comes off as an "all or nothing" horse in this spot. He's either going to run REAL well or falter badly. I dunno, gut feeling.

Sheet wise (TG) he looks to be progressing well. The Rag guys love this horse, if he is over 10/1

I hope he does well. Pedigree wise, he's head and shoulders above the rest but at this level in the handicap division, pedigree takes a backseat to natural talent. Will say this though, great future stud prospect for all the breeders.

I'll be honest with you guys, I think Survivalist has no shot in here.
Invasor is the real deal.

I woudnt argue that... like I said, gut says "all or nothing" which is probably a cop out on my behalf with a field this size.

Its a Rag/TG play...Invasor is the real deal also but if Flower runs his race, he beats Invasor by open lengths...

I would actually like to play Invasor in the BC Classic in Vegas, especially if Jara stays aboard
